05/26 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

1 - From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus, 2 to Timothy, my beloved child in the Lord: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

     3 I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you in my prayers every day. 4 As I remember the tears we felt, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and now, I know dwells in you. 6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and a sound mind.

     8 Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord! Nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel if need be, by the power of God, 9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of who we are or what we do, but because of hiS own purpose, and grace, which he gave us, in Christ Jesus, before the ages even began,
